Norway wins 6-1

Today was the big innebandy game between Norway and Denmark. Well, really, it was Norway versus the foreigners because we were there to cheer on the American on the Danish team. I'm not sure, but I think perhaps all of the Danish students were either playing or there to cheer them on wearing the Danish team color. I'm somewhat surprised that I actually got into the game a bit. Innebandy is floor ball, or ice hockey without ice. It lacks the advantages of ice hockey (speed) and has the disadvantages of basketball (squeaky sneakers). The game was, however, reminiscent of watching my Hurricanes. Our boys where out there in red, and they lost. All the same, Heie Denmark!

my day with norwegian sports

I really need to get my papers written at this point, and to prevent myself from accidentally wasting the day surfing the internet I decided to settle myself in the kitchen with the television on something not annoyingly stupid nor distractingly interesting. With only three channels to choose from I was lucky that NRK 1 was running winter sports competitions all day. Unfortunately, writing in Norwegian makes biathlon competition fascinating. It does not, however, render the chariot races more interesting. No lie. Chariots.
